Molecular s-triazine and s-heptazine derivatives as building blocks in coordination networks, molecular salts and supramolecular materials

In this thesis various possibilities to employ s-triazine and
s-heptazine compounds as building blocks in novel materials are
presented. Different molecular s-triazine and s-heptazine
derivatives have been utilized as building units in molecular
salts, coordination and supramolecular compounds. Special attention
has been paid to increased employment of s-heptazine derivatives
and of molecules which can be classified as intermediates between
inorganic carbon nitride type compounds and hydrocarbons. In the
obtained materials different types of interactions except for
covalent bonds determine specific assemblies of components in the
crystal. Detailed analysis of impact and mutual influence of
diverse types of noncovalent forces on the arrangement of molecular
entities has been performed in order to gain a deeper understanding
of these interactions, which will hopefully facilitate more
directed syntheses of such materials in the future. Structural
characterization has been complemented by analysis of chemical and
thermal stability, and thereby the suitability of investigated
compounds to be employed as building blocks in novel materials
could be evaluated.
